There have been hundreds, perhaps thousands, of obituaries and articles published this week about Billy Graham, since his passing at the age of 99. He was surely one of the two or three most recognised Christians of the twentieth century, and lived a life of memorable events, among influential people. His accomplishments, as well as his faults, have been amply noted.

There have been stories by the famous declaring gratitude to Graham for leading them to faith. Others who never met the man have remarked how much he inspired them.
